My first was an AMT stainless Gov't Model, sometime in the late '70's or early '80's. Got bit by the 9mm double stack bug and bought a BHP. When my first child was born and money got tight, I had to choose between the two. I figured the Browning would hold it's value better, so I sold the AMT. Fast forward about 30 years (still have the BHP) and I picked up an RIA Tactical as part of a trade deal. Not long after, a Colt Commander XSE found its way into my ccw battery.
